Import Tips
• Provide cross-section samples if questioned on solid wood vs veneer to confirm Chapter 44 classification
• Label as 'decorative shutters' not building materials to avoid 4418 door/window frame headings
• Declare exact wood moisture content; levels over 19% may trigger fumigation requirements
